<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>son't give up on the divorce. i know i got
mine in salem but unfortunately don't remember where. mine were for my gr.
grandmother and gr. granfather. after the divorce she married my gr.
grandfathers brother. a much younger brother and then someone went ahead and
lied to the census taker. this divorce was 23 pages in length. i do
remember the lady who pulled the microfilm for me. the lady involved was
my gr. grandmother and she packe up and left 5 kids. when she remarried
they had two more kids. as far as i can tell, these two kids from the
second marriage were my granmothers 1/2 brother and sister but they also were my
grandmothers aunt and uncle. talk about being your own grandpa. this
was a very bitter divorce and all the name-calling was with these 23
pages. its been about 20 years since i got them and while everyone called
my g.m. ester, her real name was listed as rhoda persiette hutchinson. her
mother was flor miranda [bonney] hutchinson. there is a lot of info in
these 23 pages. my g.m. never spoke to her mother again. both flora
and her second husband [david isom hutchinson] are buried in the pioneer cem. in
hubbard oregon. i believe it was the county clerk's office where i found
these som 20 years ago. my cousin took a magnifying glass and a basic
knowledge of the family and deciphers the entire 23 pages. they make
interesting reading.</FONT></DIV>

Records</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Oregon Bar Association has rules about how long legal
documents are kept by an attorney. I had a case where the lawyer
died and his records was placed in the basement of a house and I went and
retrieved my box of records after calling the Oregon Bar Association and found
out where they were. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Remember every peice of paper may not have been kept - just
the court papers. Also the opposing attorney - if there was one -
would have filed court papers and all court papers should be
microfilmed and kept in the courthouse - at least in Marion County under the
County Clerk administration, and I believe the same would
apply to Lane County. I just have experience with Marion
County.</FONT></DIV>
